- a hand rail 28 surrounds the patient support surface 13.
- the patient supporting surface 13 includes a foot end section 27, a head end section 29 and an intermediate section 31 which corresponds to the location of the torso of a person lying on the patient supporting surface of the trolley.
- the intermediate section 31 is defined by a plurality of elongated rollers 33 disposed in the longitudinal direction of the patient supporting surface 13.
- the rollers 33 provide a surface over which a mattress 26 may be moved in a transverse direction, the purpose of which will become apparent later.

- each handling device 15 is so positioned that "the respective transfer surface 43 bridges the patient supporting surface 13 of the trolley and a further support surface located alongside the adjacent longitudinal side of the trolley, the further support surface may, for example, be a hospital bed, operating table or like supporting structure.
- the handling device 15a is shown in the first (bridging) position.
- the body 41 extends upwardly alongside the patient supporting surface 13 of the trolley to thereby constitute a safety barrier which serves to prevent a patient from rolling sidewardly off the trolley.
- the handling device 15b is shown in the second (upstanding) postion, and in Figure 8 of the drawings the handling device 15a is shown in the second (upstanding) position.
- each handling device is in a stored position so as to not impede access to the patient supporting surface 13 of the trolley.
- the handling device is stored below the patient supporting surface 13 of the trolley when in such position, as best shown in Figure 9 of the drawings.
- the handling devices are shown in the third (stored) position in Figures 1 and 6 of the drawings.
- the first part of the body 41 of each handling device 15 is mounted on track means 58 for movement between the first, second and third positions.
- the track means 58 includes a pair of spaced tracks 60 one at each end of the body 41, as will be more fully explained later.
- the first part 45 of the body comprises a central section 42 mounted . on a frame defined by a pair of elongated frame members 47.
- the i'nner ⁇ end 50 of each member 47 is engaged with a respective one of the tracks 60 and the outer end 49 is hingedly connected at 51 to the central section 42 which is capable of limited hinging movement relative to the frame members 47, for a purpose which will become apparent later.
- a stop (not shown) prevents the central section from hinging downwardly beyond the frame members 47 when the handling device is in the first (bridging) position.
- the central section 42 comprises end members 53 between which are disposed a plurality of spaced rollers 55 extending longitudinally of the patient supporting surface 13 of the trolley.
- each frame member 47 is engaged at its inner end with a respective one of the tracks 60.

- Each track 60 includes a vertical track section 61 and an inclined track section 63 which extends downwardly and inwardly from the upper end of the vertical track section 61, as best shown in Figures 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the drawings.
- the vertical track section 61 includes spaced inner and outer side faces 65 and 67 respectively, a bottom face 69 and an outer end face 71, the inner end face 72 being open.
- the inclined track section 63 includes spaced inner and outer side faces 73 and 75 respectively, a bottom face 77 and an outer end face 79, the inner end face 81 being open.
- the inner face 65 of the vertical track section 61 and the outer face 75 of the inclined track section 63 merge at 82.
- the outer face 67 of the vertical track section 61 and the inner face 73 of the inclined track section are interconnected through a transition face 83.
- a cut-out portion 85 is provided in the transition face 83 and the upper part of the outer face 67 of the vertical track section 61 through which cut-out portion 85 the frame member 47 and adjacent end member 53 extend when the handling device is in either the first or. second position.
- the bottom edge 87 of the cut-out portion 85 provides an abutment against which frame end member 47 bears when the handling device is in the first (bridging) position, as best shown in Figure 7 of the drawings. In such position, the protrusion 57 at the inner end of the frame member 47 bears on the underside of the transition surface 83 which extends between the outer face 67 of the vertical track section and the inner face 73 of the inclined track section.
- each frame member 47 and the adjacent end member 53 is received in the respective inclined track section 63, as best shown in Figure 9 of the drawings. In this way, the handling devices is stored below the patient supporting surface of the trolley.
- each frame member 47 and the adjacent end member 53 are received in the vertical track section 61 which effectively constitutes a socket to receive and support such members.
- the body is maintained in the upstanding position to provide a safety barrier alongside the patient supporting surface of the trolley.
- the trolley To transfer a patient" from a hospital bed onto the trolley, the trolley is positioned along side the hospital bed and the particular handling device 15 adjacent the hospital bed is moved into the first (bridging) position. The trolley is manoeuvred so as to position the outer endloid of the first part 45 on the support surface with the second part 46 of the body below a mat stretcher fabric or the like which has previously been positioned under the patient. An attendant standing on the opposite side of the trolley to the patient is able to grasp the mat and haul it sidewardly (with the patient . thereon) over the rollers 55 and onto the patient supporting surface 13 of the trolley.
- each handling device With the patient positioned on the trolley, each handling device is moved into the second (upstanding) position so as to provide safety barriers serving to prevent the patient from rolling sidewardly off the trolley.
- the patient can then be conveyed to the desired location in the hospital at which location the trolley is positioned adjacent the supporting surface (such as an operating table) onto which the patient is to be positioned.
- the handling device adjacent the supporting surface is then moved into the first (bridging) position so as to bridge the space between the trolley and the support surface, with the outer end of the body 41 resting on the support surface.
- the attendant may then haul the patient on the mat sidewardly over the rollers 33 which form the intermediate section 31 of the patient supporting surface and the rollers 55 which form part of the transfer surfaces so as to position the patient on the operating table or other supporting surface.
- the mattress on which the patient is positioned may be moved with the patient if * so desired. . «* ⁇
- the central section 42 of fhe first part of the body may be tilted upwardly relative to the frame members 47 and the adjacent edge of the mattress positioned below the tilted central section 42 as shown in Figure 10.
- the patient can be delivered directly onto the mattress of the trolley as he or she is hauled sidewardly towards the trolley.
- the central section is urged downwardly thereby to clamp the mattress between the central section and the frame members. This serves to securely hold the mattress in position to receive the patient.
- the mattress can subsequently be returned to the central position and the trolley wheeled to the desired location.
- a patient transfer trolley enables a patient to be transferred between the hospital trolley and a further support surface (such as a hospital bed or an operating table) without the need for the patient to be manually lifted. This reduces the risk of injury to both hospital attendants and patients. In addition, it may well be that only one hospital attendant is required to perform the operation of transferring a patient from one location to another.
